Brazil's Oleo e Gas expects Atlanta field first oil in late 2015

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 2 (Reuters) - Bankrupt Brazilian oil
company Oleo e Gas Participacoes SA expects to
produce its first oil from the Atlanta offshore field in the
BS-4 block in the Santos Basin in late 2015 or early 2016,
company executives said on a conference call on Monday.

Oleo e Gas owns 40 percent of an estimated 147 million
barrels of proven, or "1P", oil reserves, and 56 million cubic
meters of natural gas in the Atlanta field, according to a
statement released with the conference call.

The neighboring Oliva field holds 65 million barrels of
recoverable oil and equivalent natural gas with first oil
expected in 2021, the statement said.
